the fact that restaurant closed showed it ids not fringe but mainstream lunacy

To be fair it was a weekend business renting another person's taco truck (ironically it provided increased income to an actual "brown person" they rented the truck from, so pushing them out of business hurt a minority business owner) to make breakfast burritos on Saturday and Sunday mornings in a single location. It was a hobby. It was still a fascist move to force it out of business but it wasn't like they shut down some mom and pop shop that had been open for 2 generations. The slightest pressure and it was just easier for them to close shop than deal with the crap while they were playing restaurant on the weekends.

I loved loving in Oregon when I did but there is some extreme people there. They jump on what they feel like are good causes (some are, some aren't imo) and take them way do far. When I lived in Eugene the city banned Christmas trees in public spaces. The fire department and police department responded well and said okay, we won't work on Christmas without a tree, so good luck with that. They let them have trees a couple days later.

Great and funny state, lots of these silly stories have and will keep coming out of Oregon.

In the eyes of those that did this, white girls selling burritos isn't politically correct. Just like the okay hand signal is racist, it's ****ing ridiculous.

Please define what politically correct means to you.

It's a sincere question. I hear it thrown around with disdain but to me it has almost no real meaning. I honestly don't know what it means other than something people generally don't like.

Back in the 90s it seemed it was used to describe something that constituted impolite and insensitive behavior. Essentially it was a standard of decorum in public and specifically political discussion. Then a shift happened and it became a slur. It seems it is used now to say that "I" will not be held to "your" standard of decorum. I do not need to be polite or sensitive, I have the right to act and speak with low manners, low consideration for others, low accuracy in meaning. In fact, it seems the argument against political correctness is that we SHOULD act with insensitivity, with non-nuanced and non-specific meaning, and with outright offensive and uncultured manners.

I think calling PC is now just an insult for whatever the extreme left does.

I'd agree in the way it is popularly used now.

I would say that political correctness the use of euphemisms and legalistic language chosen for the purpose of obscuring ones intentions and or motives.

For instance let's say that I am a Republican presidential candidate and I hate Mexicans. A politically correct way for me to express my hatred when discussing immigration would be to talk about how we live in a country of laws, that we need to secure the border, that "illegal immigrants" shouldn't be able to cut in line.

Or I, as a mexican hating presidential candidate, could throw political correctness out the window and be honest about what I truly think. In this instance " Mexicans are rapists."

On the flip side, I think that you can recognize decorum without being politically correct. I think that you can say things that are politically unpopular, that are straightforward and honest, and still do it in a dignified way.
